What is recorded here

Lissabranny is a vanished fairy fort in County Galway, Ireland. Neary called it an earthen fort with a bank and outside ditch in 1914, yet no trace remains for a walker to touch. The land keeps its shape only in memory now, waiting for someone to misread the grass and hear the missing wall speak.

Some 270m SE of a ringfort (GA005-007----). Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (D c. 35m). No visible surface trace survives. Neary (1914, 120, no. 18) classified it as an 'earthen fort' enclosed by a bank and external fosse. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
